PLATINUM technology has recently released (December 96) its second generation of server-side database development tools, called SQL-Station. One component of SQL-Station debugs server side PL/SQL, and supports such functions as setting breakpoints, step in/step out, variable watch, and viewing of call stacks.

SQL-Station Debugger is integrated into SQL-Station, which includes SQL-Station Coder, a tool for code creation, testing, and execution tool. The combination of SQL-Station Coder and Debugger will allow you to quickly identify your problem code, fix it, and redeploy it, all within the same environment.

Also included in SQL-Station is SQL-Station Plan Analyzer, a tool for optimizing your SQL.

SQL-Station's quality has earned it an "Analyst's Choice" award from PC Week Magazine.
